Default Maxton Design spoiler and skirts thoughts?

Anyone come across Maxton Design? I'm interested in the front splitter and skits. They appear to be very affordable but very subtle looking compared to other designs. What do you guys think?

I have an atomic silver GS350 F Sport. Do you guys think these pieces in black gloss would match or should these pieces match the colour of the car?

For those prices, I would go for it. I love the look of the TOMS skirts, but it's just not in the budget. These pieces all look like they'd work (even if it took a little persuasion to fit perfectly), so for the price, I would get the entire set (sides and lip) and see what happens.

If you do it, please post pictures!

I think gloss black will look better than color match. The gloss black makes it look more aggressive.

Those look good from the pics - nice and subtle especially the front lip. I vote gloss black!

The stock valance has thinner fins and the 2016+ diffuser is gloss black.

I think only the 2016+ F-sports get the glossy diffuser from the factory....believe the 2016+ Lux/Premium still have the matte finished valence.

Only 2016+ and the 2015 crafted line has the gloss black rear diffuser, otherwise it's matte.

Found the diffuser pieces from their EU website. This should complete the look with the valance.
